The game's graphics rely on outdated retro pixel art, which, despite having an adorable style, ultimately results in lackluster visuals that cannot be significantly improved through settings or resolution changes. While some players appreciate the charm of the art, the overall execution is hindered by limited graphical options and simplistic design.
“While the game has an adorable art style and a rather pleasant soundtrack, the lack of save spots, irritating enemies that can one-shot you, plus the clunky control scheme make this game something I cannot recommend.”
“Settings are limited and keybinds are not great, but the game graphics are kind of cool.”
“A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”

The game's music has received mixed feedback; while some players find it enjoyable and a highlight of the experience, others are frustrated by the lack of audio controls, making it difficult to mute the background music. Overall, the soundtrack is described as pleasant but can become annoying over time.
“A fun little side scroller with decent music.”
“Music is awesome.”
“Music is awesome, nice reason to buy this game for 1 euro.”
“Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music. You'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
“While the game has an adorable art style and a rather pleasant, albeit annoying, soundtrack, the lack of save spots, irritating enemies that can one-shot you, plus the clunky control scheme make this game something I cannot recommend.”

“There's nothing of any real value for gamers here; it's just a cash grab to make a few rubles.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, prioritizing profit over player experience.”
“I feel pressured to spend money just to enjoy basic features that should be included in the game.”
